Second and third grade teachers this Reindeer Reading has 3 types of text! One product with Informational Text, a Fictional Story, and a Fictional Poem. I've provided to ways to interact with the informational text: Magazine Style with two columns per page and Full page which can be used for close reading and annotating.

Each literature type has 4-6 printables that are Common Core aligned and cover many of the ELA standards within the 3 major clusters: Key Ideas and Details, Craft and Structure, and Integration of Knowledge and Ideas.

Each literature type comes with mini-lessons and teacher recommendations!

The following topics are covered in the printables:

Comprehension/Purpose of the Text
Comprehension-Sketch It
Main Idea and Details
Text Features
Meaning of Words
Compare and Contrast
Author’s Message
Inferencing
Story Structure
Character Analyzing
Visualizing
Facts and Details
Analyzing Poetry

The story and poem are both originals that I've written. I enjoyed writing these 2 fun and interesting pieces that I know 2nd and 3rd grade students will enjoy! Fun, relevant and educational…what more could you ask for!

You can use these in small student-led cooperative groups, whole class, small instructional groups, at a literacy center and so much more!
